Makar and his Grandma came back to Russia after a successful surgery and rehabilitation in Israel.
Here is the latest update from his Mom:
“Makar returned to school and has already received an excellent mark in Elementary Science. He studies hard and does his homework on his own. Now we can finally move on to our plan of transferring our son to a school with advanced English learning and other special subjects. Makar is a talented, independent and inquisitive boy. THANK YOU and your colleagues, big thanks to Assuta Hospital staff and Prof. Shimon Maimon for all the help, support and kind care. Respectfully, Elena, Grandma Olya and Makar Vasilyev”.

We wish to thank the Management, teachers and pupils of the Ministry of Defense Girls’ Boarding School for their participation in the Charity Fair that took place on March, 1 at the International Design School.

The girl and her Mom came back to Moscow after a successful surgery and rehabilitation in Israel.

Just before the flight, Maria had a final consultation confirming that there are no complications and that the girl won’t need any more interventions.

The girl will now undergo follow-up speech therapy to restore her verbal function. According to the doctors, regular therapy sessions will help Maria catch up on the speech development level of her peers and let her go to school with the other kids.

The unique intervention took place on Monday, 6 March. The Israeli surgeons performed a complex stent implantation using innovative high-technology methods. The doctors report a favourable outcome of the treatment.

“We wish a happy Women’s Day to all of the female staff of the Foundation! Thank you for your cordiality, kindness, generosity, patience and support! Without you Makar wouldn’t be able to recover. Blessings from Elena and Makar”

The complex intervention took place on February, 20. It lasted for three hours and required the most careful attention of the surgeons. Dr. David Leshem (photo) reports a favourable outcome of the treatment. By Wednesday, the girl already felt well enough to leave the hospital.

Maria is now under daily medical supervision. The doctors are monitoring her progress and will soon tell when the girl will be able to return to Russia.
